City Tells Potential Tavern Carts to Leave Hot Dogs at Home

Forget about the proposals to operate the defunct Tavern on the Green. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department is moving much more quickly on getting four food and drink carts on the terrace of the landmark restaurant. Priorities!

Tavern on the Green will be used as a visitor’s center and gift shop until a new operator for the restaurant is picked.

The RFP for four carts – one beverage, two specialty food and one dessert – on a terrace adjacent to the restaurant on 67th Street and Central Park West were issued today.

The leases are one year with an option to renew.

Hot dog and pretzel carts need not apply.

“The operations of these concessions are intended to be of a premium quality in terms of both Mobile Food Unit design and menu content, making a significant improvement to the quality and ambience of the park,” the RFP says.
